<h1>Grouping data by indenting: Outline Mode</h1>
<p>You can create an indented grouping of related data on a grid report 
 by organizing the data into a standard outline style. An outline lets 
 you collapse and expand sections of related data. </p>
<p>For example, in the report below, you can expand and collapse data for 
 product categories, such as electronics, food, and gifts.</p>
<p align="center" class="whs1"><img src="images/outlineexample.gif" x-maintain-ratio="TRUE" width="468px" height="305px" border="0" class="img_whs2"></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>When Outline mode is enabled on a report, you expand and collapse data 
 using the plus and minus icons on the left or the numbered buttons above 
 the report, as shown in the image above.</p>
<p>Outline mode works the same for Grid/Graphs on a document as it does 
 for reports.</p>
<h2>Exporting a report that uses outline mode</h2>
<p>When you export a report that has Outline mode enabled, the report's 
 outline look and feel is maintained in Excel. This means that if you have 
 the first two attributes expanded and the last one collapsed in the report 
 before you export, the same attributes are expanded and collapsed in Excel. 
 You can use the expand and collapse buttons in Excel to change the data 
 that is displayed.</p>
<h2>Prerequisites</h2>
<ul type="disc" class="whs3">
	
<li class=p><p>Outline mode is only available when the report has more 
 than one object in the rows.</p></li>
	
<li class=p><p>Outline mode is available only if DHTML is enabled. 
 See 
<a HREF="DHTML-only_features_in_Web.htm">DHTML-only features in Web</a>.</p></li>
</ul>
<h2>To enable Outline mode on a report</h2>
<ol type="1" class="whs4">
	
<li class=p><p class="whs5">Click the name of a grid report 
 to execute it.</p></li>
	
<li class=p><p class="whs5">From the <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Tools</B></span> 
 menu, select <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Report Options</B></span>. The 
 Report Options dialog box opens.</p></li>
	
<li class=p><p class="whs5">Select the <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Outline</B></span> 
 check box, and click <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>OK</B></span>. </p></li>
</ol>
<ol start="4" type="1" class="whs4">
	
<li class=p><p class="whs5">Expand and collapse individual 
 levels by clicking the <img src="images/expand.gif" x-maintain-ratio="TRUE" width="9px" height="16px" border="0" class="img_whs6"> or <img src="images/contract.gif" x-maintain-ratio="TRUE" width="9px" height="16px" border="0" class="img_whs6"> icons within each row on the report. Click the numbered 
 buttons above the report to expand or collapse data for the page displayed. 
 </p></li>
</ol>
<p class="whs7">Multiple-page reports work in the same way. 
 For example, if you are on page 4 of a multiple-page report and you want 
 to collapse the data to the second level, then you will only be collapsing 
 data that is displayed on the fourth page of the report. </p>
